about

I love the coast and in particular, the area in which I live, the North East of England. It’s an uncomplicated life, for the past twelve years I’ve been away from the ‘big smoke’ … and the decision to relocate my business to the North has been the best move of my career. So far. I am a writer and have a lifetime of experience in publishing and personal development. I now consider myself a specialist in helping my clients with memoirs – that could entail a biography, or simply bringing diary pages to life. I tend not to advertise my business, word of mouth has always been kind so it’s no surprise that I do spend a couple of days per week networking. Peer collaboration can be very rewarding. Therefore, if you’d like to join me fortnightly for Wednesday ZOOM or either Tuesday or Thursday for (in-person) morning coffee, please get in touch. I’d love to meet you and perhaps help in any way possible. Thank you for stopping by the website. engage, develop, grow … with Go! charliekenny@live.co.uk

    Putting the work in

    Another oft-overlooked advantage of joining a like-minded community is partnership. By putting the work-in, being brave, giving time to the room, we’re reaching a whole new community of listeners. Each of us have the potential to reach new prospects through recommendation. Word of mouth works … if only you give us something to talk about.

    How do they feel?

    Remember why you do what you do. If it’s to bring yourself and others a better standard of living, then understand that what you are offering to your network is worthy indeed. 

  • Hoooraaay!

    Hoooraaay!

    It’s relief, validation of her actions and in her product and service. It can be tricky for anyone wishing to start their own business. Today’s fickle, competitive, and somewhat demoralising world calls for a tough skin.

    Why do something else?

    Quick step or bolero?

    The past few years working for myself have been tough. I’ve noticed a tremendous change in the way people do business. Speaking with friends in my network, they all see the same … ​The familiar high-street names have disappeared from local focus. Woolworths, Miss Selfridge, Debenhams to name a few. Sure, some have resurfaced on-line…

  • More homework

    More homework

    Give it time, Ross. Educate the audience on who could use your product or service. Give the audience time to buy in to you and they may bring you business.

  • Foundations matter …

    Foundations matter …

    If you want to be great, greater than life itself, learn to give. Love has nothing to do with what you expect to get, only with what you expect to give—everything.

    Stay where you are?

    After a warm, dry spell of weather, today had turned cooler. Sea mist was rolling across the cricket pitch to offer some respite for the fielding side. I turned to my friend Bob sitting beside me as he suggested we move to the back of the pavilion where he thought it maybe more comfortable… I…

  • Gadgets, lions and parachutes

    Gadgets, lions and parachutes

    Then one day! By the magic of word-of-mouth recommendation, an enquiry arrives. Someone needs a lion tamer … together with a bespoke parachute …

  • You, me, us.

    You, me, us.

    Some of my pals are terrified at the very thought of asking for help … (at first I was as well) … apprehensive when seeking that important special something that would further their business and therefore the well-being.
